<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bluumz, post: 2148293, member: 649&quot;]I crowed about this a couple years ago in the Finds thread but I&#039;ll mention it here, too, since it&#039;s one of my best finds. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie79" alt=":shame:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I was browsing at my local Salvation Army and, despite not being a &quot;glassie&quot;, I could tell this stuff was &quot;vintage&quot;. I knew there were some ruby red glass dishes that sold well so I decided to look it up. I got on my smart phone and, as luck would have it, I found the pattern with only a minute or two of searching… woo-hoo!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Into my shopping cart went a boxful of ruby red American Sweetheart dishes by MacBeth-Evans, circa 1930-1936. There was one 12-inch plate, 14 8-inch plates, one creamer, 7 sherbets (which don&#039;t have the impressed pattern), 12 cups and 12 saucers. The set was priced at $24.95 US but kitchenware was 25% off that evening so I paid under $19 for the lot! I pieced it out and in the end it totaled about $2000 in fast and easy sales. It paid for my summer vacation that year.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, it&#039;s only the ruby red and Ritz blue (cobalt blue) pieces that are truly woo-hoo items. The pattern was also done in white, pink, and clear but those are much more common.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.antiquers.com/attachments/img_5666-jpg.113721/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
